Customer Reviews New Balance WX608v5

I buy new balance because of a foot problem. They are the only sneaker that stopped the pain.

The shoes were ordered a half size larger as recommended. I have a problem with right big toe - needed room and I got it. Shoes have a very wide toe box so they were comfy. They are not very attractive due to the large toe box. I did feel at times I was flapping around in clown shoes. If you need a comfy shoe and not worried about the looks, it is fine.

I have a hard time to find shoes for my feet. These shoes are comfortable.

Great shoes for weights and gym workouts. They offer support in all the right places and prevent your feet from sliding out "the side" when doing for example side lunges. They were comfortable from the moment I put them on, and I will be ordering another pair soon to have as a backup.

So far very pleased. Comfortable, light weight and orthotics fit in with no problems. Also have 608 in black. Equally as pleased.

I have gone through three pairs of 624s... But apparently they are no longer available.... Hopes are high that these 608s will do as well or better. White color and not too bold logo or decorations is what I want in addition to all day comfort.... So far so good...

Comfortable, walking shoe , fits good, light weight. I will likely purchase this shoe again!

I received the shoes without the inside Comfort Insert that is part of and belongs inside of the shoes. I called customer service and asked if I could be sent the missing Comfort Inserts to the shoes, and I was told that the only thing I can do is to go online and proceed to return the shoes. I said that I was hoping that we would be able to remedy the situation by them merely sending me the Comfort Inserts. I was put on hold, and when the rep came back she told me that her supervisor said I could go online and purchase the inserts. I asked why would I do that when it is part of shoe? (The inserts they have online, are NOT the Comfort Inserts that are a part of this shoe.) I asked if the supervisor understood the problem. The rep said yes. I said this is wrong and asked to speak to the supervisor. I was put on hold for several minutes, the line was silent. I hung up when they started streaming loud music through the telephone because I did not feel like I was going to get anywhere. I sent an email through their website; however because they do not have a direct email for subjects such as this and I had to choose a different subject, I am not confident they will respond. You can see from the picture on the website what the inside of the shoe should look like my shoe has a ragged-edge piece of thin white fabric inside the shoe, not the pink Comfort Insert that is part of the shoe.

I liked the construction...looked a bit clunky, but i fully expected them to be super comfy when wearing. that was not the case. Both shoes had a strange feel to the outside portion of the sole...felt like extra matter was in the sole that caused my feet to 'lean outwards.' I wanted to like the shoe but just couldn't get to that point. So i returned them.

I ordered a size 11 4-E and the fit is perfect day one. My only form of exercise these days is walking and these shoes fit the bill perfectly. And they look sharp.

My husband and I have worn nothing but New Balance shoes for years. The pair shown here are an 8 wide and this is my 3rd pair. I love them and they are so comfortable. I walk on rough streets and they wear forever. I've even washed mine in the washing machine and they come out looking like new. NB makes a great shoe at a great price.

90% of my walking is the treadmill these days. I average 4 miles per day. Takes about an hour. On pavement walk. Outdoors it takes 80 minutes. I'm retired. Age 84. Know your company for at least 40 years. Always top quality. Still is.

Great walking runners Recommend for long walks.

I like the style of shoe I ordered. Looks great, the wide fit is very good. Thank you

Walking and bike riding. Because they are great looking , I use the for casual events

great fit look good not nice making one type so much

These were my first pair of new balances and I'm pretty disappointed with them. After just a few weeks of wear the sole started coming away from the main body of the shoe in one place. Now after a few months it has come away on both shoes in multiple places. For the price I expected a better made shoe. Clearly the glue / sealant being used is not good.

Very comfortable, and I wear them almost every day.

New balance is the only shoe I can purchase with style due to wide feet . I use them for everything from work to walking to working out .

I wear them daily. I am a diabetic but diabetic shoes don't really last very long. So new balance are a good alternative. The extra wide on the 608 series is really a good fit for my feet

These are so cute and comfortable. I honestly want to wear them every day but don't want to get them dirty lol

Sneakers are comfortable. The availability of wide widths makes a big difference.

This is my fifth pair of 608's. Great shoe ! Offering wide sizes is important to me for a good fit. Another feature not advertised is that the leather shoe is somewhat water resistant. I'm a fisherman and sometimes get caught in a shower and find my feet stay dry. Also, just purchased your golf shoes and love them.

At 6' 6" and 250 pounds, there EW sneakers are simply "The Best" pair and softest pair ever!! The styling is pretty good too.

Great fit at a great price for my new walking program. Generous toe box for wide feet. Fits true to size. I wear a 14 Wide. Highly recommend and would definitely buy again.
